Don't Do That


"Don't do that" a common utterance of disempowerment A three word society on its own filled with expectation when the first mistake was made A sense of being unloved, peaking through a pessimistic lens of hearing "Don't do that" A belief system that feeds off of "I'm not enough" A space in which, judgment fills the ears and isolates the mind with a repeated voice in search of coherence in which, one will never find love becomes a task, passion that resonates inside slowly starts to resonate, than shrivels up and dies.
